C:\Users\Paul\Desktop>svn --version
svn, version 1.7.8 (r1419691)
   compiled Dec 15 2012, 17:12:24

The following repository access (RA) modules are available:

* ra_neon : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using Neon.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme
* ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
  - with Cyrus SASL authentication
  - handles 'svn' scheme
* ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
  - handles 'file' scheme
* ra_serf : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV protocol using serf.
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme

I downloaded the VSN binary zip and installed.

C:\Windows\system32>svn --version

  - using serf 1.3.2
  - handles 'http' scheme
  - handles 'https' scheme

which looks right.

And that has 'cured' the 'fault'.

I was obviously confusing the Tortoise version with the Subversion version.

Thanks
